Package: sysklogd
Version: 1.5-6
I'm trying to use live-build to generate an i386 bootable image on an
amd64 host. I've successfully used the same live build configuration to
build amd64 images on this host, and the only change is the
"architecture" configuration (now i386). The repository configuration
points at the debian.org (not a mirror).
Unfortunately, builds fail consistently because at some point a package
is pulled in that depends on sysklogd, which does not exist in Wheezy.
Interestingly, sysklogd exists in squeeze and jessie so it appears
sysklogd should exist in Wheezy and yet has been omitted.
I can't determine from the live-build / apt output which package is
requesting sysklogd instead of busybox-syslogd directly, and the tools
on packages.debian.org haven't helped me find the package either.
This bug is a request to make sysklogd available in Wheezy or figure out
what needs to be done to convince apt to install busybox-syslogd
automatically in place of sysklogd, since it's clearly not doing that
right now.
I attempted to report this to the live-build maintainers...
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=727640
but they just closed the bug saying they're just a wrapper for apt and
the problem exists elsewhere.
Here's a snippet from the build process along with the error that
ultimately stops the build:
-------------
[2013-10-24 20:09:20] lb chroot_install-packages install
P: Begin installing packages (install pass)...
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'isc-dhcp-client' instead of 'dhcp3-client'
Note, selecting 'man-db' instead of 'man'
Package sysklogd is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
busybox-syslogd
E: Package 'sysklogd' has no installation candidate
P: Begin unmounting filesystems...
P: Saving caches...
